StorNext Log Rolling Administration
Use the following procedures to configure StorNext log rolling options.
Changing Log Rolling
Times 2
Use this procedure to change the frequency of rolling the StorNext logs.
This process requires that you edit the
tldm crontab to set log times. Use
this procedure to edit
tdlm crontab.
1 Log on as root.
2 Edit the tdlm crontab and update the sn_log_update script.
Below is an example crontab:
0 1,7,13,19 * * * /usr/adic/www/bin/cmdwrap /usr/adic/util/sn_log_update /usr/
adic
where 0 1,7,13,19 * * * designates the times when logs run.
Log Rolling Options 2
In this release of StorNext the sn_log_update information is overwritten
and no longer contains the $
DEF_SIZE or the $DEF_LOGS variables. These
entries are now contained in the
sn_log_update.cfg file
You can change these options to optimize log rolling.
• -s: This option sets the directory where logs are saved (copied) to as
they are rolled. This directory is typically a managed directory. For
example:
sn_log_update [-s <dir>]
where <dir> is the directory where you want the logs to reside.
• $DEF_SIZE = 2000000: This is the default size at which logs are rolled.
Edit this entry in the
/usr/adic/util/sn_log_update.cfg file if you want
the log sizes to be larger or smaller.
• $DEF_LOGS = 28: This is the default number of logs that are saved
before they are deleted. Edit this entry in the
/usr/adic/util/
sn_log_update.cfg
file if you want to save less than 28 logs or are
saving the logs to a managed directory.
